Maybe you know the saying, “When you point one finger, there are three fingers pointing back to you.” One wise man had a version of this when he said, “Don't focus on the dust in your brother's eye while the dirt in your own eye.” Why do we do this? Because criticisms are always ourselves. When we criticize others, we do not expose them, but expose ourselves. We our own weakness and smallness.
A story in the old tales the difference in wisdom between the good and the bad. Once a king both Nelson and Dick. The king asks Nelson to go out into the kingdom and after finding someone less qualified than himself. Then he asks Dick to go out into the kingdom and return after finding someone than himself.
When Fool Dick returns, he tells the king that he couldn't find anyone better than himself. Wise Nelson says that he was to find anyone less qualified than himself on his return.
Moral of the story is something about human . Good people always look at their own and faults and consider themselves less qualified than others. Whereas bad people always look at the shortcomings and faults of others and themselves more qualified than others.

After six months of living in New Zealand, I realized one thing. Despite my 1 for greater contact with local students, 2 I initiated(開始) the contact, it wouldn’t happen. Local students are not interested in contacts with the international students, because they regard us as shy, 3 and sometimes snobby （勢利的） people. Of course we know that’s not true. I want to change their opinions.
After 4 the problem, I put on my “confidence mask” each morning and walked around with a smile on my face. I chatted with people whenever I had the chance. I showed that I was not afraid to 5 them, and that I was worthy of being a friend.
A side-effect of my 6 confidence was that my emotions occasionally broke down Only in the 7 of my room, where no one could see, would I reveal my real emotions. All the rejections, funny looks, and 8 behind my back calling me a weirdo（古怪的人） melted into tears. Once that was done, I would put on my confidence mask once again and start a new day.
It finally worked My name became known throughout the school as I appeared to be 9 and active. Slowly, I discovered that I no longer needed to put on my confidence mask. I had real friends. Instead of dragging myself to school and 10 to be happy, I was truly happy. I could not believe it when I was elected to the student government as Deputy Head boy----the first international student to receive the title.
From my 11 in New Zealand, I believe one thing will always be true: If you try your best to reach your goals, you’ll achieve your 12 dreams.
